There's an inn of old renown,
Where they brew a beer so brown,
Moon came rolling down the hill,
One heavensday night to drink his fill.
On a three stringed fiddle there,
Played the Ostler's cat so fair,
The horned cow that night was seen to,
Dance a jig upon the green.
Called by the fiddle to the middle of the muddle,
Where the cow with the capers sent the small girl squealing, Boom in the puddle with the huddle by the griddle,
But he slipped in a puddle and the world went reeling.
Downsides went up, hey,
Outsides went wide,
As the fiddle played a twiddle,
And the moon slept, till Sterrinday.
Upsides went west, hey,
Rucksides went boom,
With a twiddle on the fiddle in the middle by the griddle,
And the moon slept, till Sterrinday.
Dish from off the dresser pranced,
Found a spoon and gaily danced,
Horses neighed and chomped their bits
With a bloodshot moon had lost his wits,
Well cow jumped over dog barked wild,
The moon lay broke and sweetly smiled,
Ostler cried play faster a cat,
Because we all want to dance like that!
Gambol and totter really hotter than a hatter,
And his spin on a kipper like a windmill flailing,
World with a clatter till you scatter every potter,
And the strings started breaking as the world go sailing.
Downsides go up, hey,
Outsides go wide,
You can clatter with your platter,
But the moon slept, till Sterrinday,
Upsides go west, hey,
Rugsides go boom,
With a platter and a clatter you can shatter every platter,
But the moon slept, till Sterrinday.
White forth fiddle diddle far forth fiddle diddle
Hey yay yay yay yo-o
Hey yay ding dang do
Hoo lai, and hotter clotter ho
Hotter clotter hotter clo
Hai ho fiddle diddle hai ho
Ho diddly ding dang ho
Hoo lai hoo lai
Hotter clotter hotter clotter hai ho ho (repeated)
Downsides go up, hey,
Outsides go wide,
With a twiddle on the fiddle in the middle by the griddle,
And the moon slept, till Sterrinday.
Upsides go west, hey,
Rucksides go boom,
With a platter and a clatter you can shatter every platter,
But the moon slept, till Sterrinday.
